there's far more lawyers and pliantiffs than there are corporate officers.

Not entirely sure that's true, if you figure in all corporations, of all sizes.

But your point is well taken.

Yes, its all about perceptions. Whenever the media and trial lawyers get together, I get nervous. They nearly destroyed the nuclear power industry, mostly through fear-mongering. They really know how to whip up public opinion (look at the global-warming and Kyoto fiascos, not to mention NBC blowing up Chevy trucks) with scant scientific evidence. The best way to pretrain a jury is to saturate the news with a "problem" prior to any trials.

My goal here is to temper the argument - to make sure that freepers know that while the mold issue is a real problem, it isn't nearly as widespread as the media in some areas make it out to be. (Strangely, the media here has never jumped on the mold bandwagon - the only mold mentioned here is the jello-mold in the food section).
